most of you know the story to nearly how it stands
i built my vts
loved it and after doing all the subs and leather rear seat stuff i decided i wanted it as a bit of track use and stripped it out
started looking at cages and bits and took it on my first trackday
where the car came to its end when i spun it into the gravel and it rolled
so i bought a new bodyshell and a mark 1 front end planning to reshell the car
but the dvla said i couldnt use that shell as it had dropped off the register and id need to buy a registration then swap everything across at a huge cost
also i bought a 1.1 as a runabout whilst i was working on my vts (and i tweaked it a little with a spax kit exhaust and an open filter)
then i bumped it and it went under the back of the car in front
so that was broken
but i thought ill put my vts stuff on the 1.1 so it got a bit messy
but since then its had a few more vts parts fitted (basically all of them including whats in the picture below)
and its now a work in progress (but its not running yet)
itll be getting a rather large track spec for it and should hopefully be quite a good little car
plan on taking it on a fair few trackdays around the country and maybe across to the ring and maybe assen if possible
